the invention is the production of means connected to a garment for supporting the hose supporter and which means will not injure or tear said garment.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 represents a front elevation of the improved hose supporter suspended from a garment;

i Fig. 2 shows an enlarged section of Fig. 1 on the broken line 2, 2; Fig. 3 indicates a section of Fig. 1 on the broken line 3, 3; Fig. 4 shows an enlarged fragmentary portion of Fig. 2;

Fig. 5 shows a section similar to Fig. 4 with y a modification and Fig. 6shows a section similar to Fig. 4 with a further modification. The main strap 20 of the hose supporter comprises a piece of webbing preferably elastie and at the upper end of which is indicated 3 an ordinary safety pin with its bar 21, its pin proper 22 and its keeper 23. A clevis is indicated with its lower member 27 and the hook ends 28. ."The said hook ends are suspended from the bar 21. i A supporting strap is shown having the members 30 and 31. Each of said members has formed therewith the upper fold32 from which descends the leg 33. At the lower end i of the latter is formed the fold 34. The leg 35 rises from each of the folds 34 and the crown .36 connects the legs 35. A U shaped clamping bracket engages the legs 33 and 35 and eyelets 41 clamp the bracket 40 and 5 the legs 33 and 35 together.

pending strap 46. In the strap 46 are supported two eyelets 47 through which the pin 22 passes. Inthe strap 46 is formed an opening 48, in which is tightly seated the eyelet 50 49. A thimble 50 having thefiange 51 is A garment is indicated at with the de tightly seated in the eyelet 49 and has an end upset to form the flange 52.) The flange 51 bears against one of the flanges of the eyelet 49. A second thimble 53. issupported on the thimble and bears against the eyelet 49 .55 and the flange 52. The crown 36 of the legs 35 of thesupportingstrap issupported on the thimble 53. i

A bar 55 extends between andissupported on the book ends 28. The upper'end of the strap 20 is supported on the bar 55 and is wound around the same as indioatediwith its legs 56 and57. A pair. of eyelets 58 clamp the bar 55 and the leg 57 The strap 20 at its lower portion is clamped by thebuckleindt cated in its entirety by thefnumeral 60. QThe said buckle comprises the upper cross bar 61,

the intermediate cross .member 62 and the hook ends 63. A wing 64 having the serrated member 65 is hinged to the cross 10211761 in l the usual manner. At the lower end of the strap 20 is clamped the U shaped bracket 66,

by means of the eyelets 67. i y

A lower strap is indicated having the members 68 and 69. The said members engage the hook ends 63 and are folded overthe intermediate cross bar 62. Aneyelet-7O connects the members 68 and 69 and their upper folded portions together. Intermediate portions of the members 68 and 69 have eachso formed therewith a loop 75 each with a rising portion 68, which are each' maintained in proper position by means of the washer plates 7 6 and 77 and said plates are clamped in place by the eyelets 78. Each rising portion. 68 35 is folded over at 68 and from the latter descends the portion 68. At the lower end of ,the latter is formed the foldx68 latter rises theportion .68, which is engaged From the by one ofthe eyelets 78, and has formed therewith the portion 68. A washer plate 82 bears against the inner face of each of the portions 68 A pair of eyelets 83 engage andclamp together the member 68 and the washer plate 82. A thimble 84 extends through each of the eyelets 83. On the outer ends of the thimbles 84 are located the sleeves 85 each having the flange 86. An elongated taperedstud 90 is supported on each pair of the thimbles 84, and bears between the flanges 86 and between one of the flanges of each of the eyelets 83. A'clasp for each of the members 68 and 69 is indicated with its upper cross member 91, the curved side members 92 the lower parallel members 93, which latter are connected by the curved lower crown 94.

Referring to the modification shown in Fig. 5 the depending strap is again indicated at 46, with its opening 48. The thimble 50 is again indicated having the flanges 51 and 52 and is in this instance directly supported in the openin 48. A washer 95 is supported on the thim le 50 and bears against the strap 46. A second thimble-96 is. supported on the thimble 50 and bears between its flanges 52 and the washer 95. The crown 36' of the legs supporting strap is supported on the Referringto the modification shown in Fig. 6 the depending stra is again shown at 46 with its opening-48; he thimble 50 is again M1 with the flanges 51 and 52, and is directly supported in the opening 48. A washer 97 is so ported on the thimble 50 and u been against, estmp 46. A second washer 98 iUsvlp rted on the thimble 50 and bears tginst t'e flange '51. A thimble 99 is supon the thimble 50 and bears between e strap 45 and thewasher 98. The crown 80 M '0! the legs of-"the supporting strap is llpported on the thimble 99.

ariousmodifications may be made in the invention and the present exemplification is to be takenas illustrative and not limitative Having described my invention what I desirete'secure by Letters Patent and claim is:
